The Susan Vogt
Leadership Fellows Program
September 2008—May 2009
The Susan Vogt Leadership Fellows Program honors the remarkable work and
spirit of Susan Vogt, Vice President of Finance and Treasurer at Wellesley
College from 2000 to 2003. The Fellowship carries on her legacy by connecting, developing, and supporting emerging leaders within the schools of The
Boston Consortium. The Fellowship seeks to increase awareness of the
Consortium’s values and activities at the grassroots level, connect
and engage practitioners in meaningful projects, and foster collaboration
and camaraderie in the next generation of leaders.

Program Benefits
Vogt Fellows will have excellent opportunities for development and networking. They will be able to
develop their leadership, and reflection skills through self-assessment and a collaborative final project.
Along the way, they will build a peer-advising and coaching network that can last well beyond the
Fellowship year. Fellows will develop personal learning plans to guide them and will avail themselves
of Fellowship sponsors who will support them in accomplishing their goals. To further their development, each Fellow will be paired with an executive coach.
Colleges and Universities will enjoy numerous benefits from their participation in the Vogt Leadership
Fellows Program, including the ability to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
foster employee capacity to lead effective and meaningful local change
initiate an important change project at their school
retain and reinvigorate highly valued employees
improve collaboration among individuals in their own school participating in
Consortium activities
